Abstract: The reception circuit includes a circuit for generating high frequency signals (5), a frequency transposition circuit (6) and a high-pass filter (7). These are able to filter the static and dynamic components of the perturbations induced by the operation of the high frequency signal generator and frequency transposition circuit. The reception circuit for a mobile radio telecommunication terminal comprises a circuit for generating high frequency signals (5), a frequency transposition circuit (6) and a high-pass filter (7). The filter is able to filter the static component and the dynamic component of the perturbations induced by the operation of the high frequency signal generator and frequency transposition circuit. The high pass filter is connected to a digitizing circuit (9). The cut-off frequency (Fc) of the high-pass filter (7) is predetermined in order to eliminate the static and dynamic components above before the signal enters the digitizing circuit (9). The residual dynamic component is then eliminated by the intermediary of a digital filter (10) placed after the digitizing circuit, and a corrector (11).

Abstract: An assembly of a pair of roller bearings in which the inner bearing rings are axially spaced apart by a first member and the outer bearing rings are spaced apart by a second member with one of the inner or outer ring of each bearing being an axially outer bearing ring spaced axially further from the outer bearing than the other ring of that bearing. The method comprises forming an assembly of the two members and bearings in which one of the axially outer bearing ring is a loose fit on one of the first and second members, and then axially moving the axially outer bearing ring of the one bearing which is loose fit in a direction towards the other bearing to create a pre-load, and then increasing the degree of pre-load to effect elastic deformation of that ring and thereby create a shrink fit type interface load.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de réduire les erreurs de pilotage et d'améliorer le fonctionnement du pilote automatique, consistant à fournir des informations de capture (420, 410, par exemple) complémentaires aux informations déjà fournies sur un écran (100) du poste de pilotage. Ces informations de capture (420, 410, par exemple) se rapportent, par exemple, au point de départ de la capture, au dernier point pour commencer la capture, à la trajectoire durant la capture (610) et à la zone de dépassement de la capture (612) et indiquent au pilote à quel instant il doit commencer la capture. Les pilotes sont ainsi plus à même d'évaluer les performances en cours des systèmes automatique ou de pilote automatique (894) et de constater que le pilote automatique fonctionne correctement. Ce système permet, par ailleurs, de guider le pilote qui commande l'aéronef (201) en mode manuel, sur la base desdites informations, et de lui indiquer avec une plus grande précision quand il doit commencer la capture de l'altitude (210) ou de la trajectoire verticale (301, 302) attribuée.

Abstract: In a method for generating an identifier for an audio signal including a tone generated by an instrument, a discrete amplitude-time representation of the audio signal is generated at first, wherein the amplitude-time representation, for a plurality of subsequent points in time, comprises a plurality of subsequent amplitude values, wherein a point in time is associated to each amplitude value. Subsequently, an identifier for the audio signal is extracted from the amplitude-time representation. An instrument database is formed from several identifiers for several audio signals including tones of several instruments. By means of a test identifier for an audio signal having been produced by an unknown instrument, the type of the test instrument is determined using the instrument database. A precise instrument identification can be obtained by using the amplitude-time representation of a tone produced by an instrument for identifying a musical instrument.

Abstract: A system for winding a cross-wound bobbin has a rotatably supported tube holder that is intended to receive a tube. The yarn guide element that serves the purpose of shogging the yarn moves in the direction parallel to the axis of rotation of the tube and is made to execute the oscillating reciprocating motion with the aid of a work cylinder. The work cylinder has the advantage that for braking the kinetic energy at the turning point of the yarn guide element, no additional external energy must be applied. It suffices for the applicable cylindrical chamber to be blocked off. Moreover, the gas compressed in the process can be used to accelerate the piston in the opposite direction. The stored braking energy also can be used simultaneously as acceleration energy. Since in the creation of a cross-wound bobbin many thousand such changes of direction occur, the energy savings are substantial.
